Using Jaguar, SEACISM’s aim is to use state-of-the-art simulation to predict the behavior of ice sheets under a changing climate by developing scalable algorithms.
To accelerate the acquisition of information needed to arrest child predators, law enforcement officers have teamed with data analytics experts at ORNL for a project that will use Jaguar to speedily analyze the activities on file-sharing networks that pinpoint porn producers.
BMI’s Mike Henderson discusses the aerodynamic analysis of semi-tractor trailers, research that could greatly enhance the efficiency of one of America’s most important shipping mediums.
Image showing the asymmetric and turbulent flame that has consumed a white dwarf star in a type Ia supernova explosion. (Image credit: Daniel Kasen, UCSC) Researchers use Jaguar to simulate ignition in type Ia supernova explosions. Type Ia supernovas are the largest thermonuclear explosions in nature, expelling mass greater than…
At the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the world’s fastest supercomputer for unclassified research is simulating abrupt climate change and shedding light on an enigmatic period of natural global warming in Earth’s relatively recent history.
When German physicist Max Planck created quantum theory in 1900, he was not trying to revolutionize the world. He was just trying to provide a theoretical foundation for the way a heated object radiates energy and, thereby, to improve the efficiency of light bulbs. Modern scientists, too, cannot know which…
Is it possible to have a carbon-neutral Super Bowl? When National Football League Environmental Program Coordinator Jack Groh wanted to find out, he called ORNL.
Next-generation plants to produce electricity and hydrogen and sequester carbon dioxide Near-zero-emission coal plants are in the works to generate electricity and hydrogen and sequester carbon dioxide.
